Introduction

This installation note explains how to install the hardware and provides guidelines for adjustment

and verification for Option HL6, External Mixing Upgrade for MXA signal analyzers with serial

number prefixes from MY/SG/US5328 to <MY/SG/US5606. A similar kit, Option EXM, is available

for MXA signal analyzers serial number prefix = MY/SG/US5233 and ≥MY/SG/US5606. There is no

external mixing upgrade available for MXA signal analyzers with serial number prefix

< MY/SG/US5233.

The A13 Front End Assembly that was originally installed in MXAs with serial number prefixes listed

in the box above does not support External Mixing. Therefore, a new A13 Front End Assembly is also

included in the kit, along with the necessary license, cables and connectors required for External

Mixing.

Depending upon what other options are already installed, the A15 Front End Controller board

currently installed in the MXA may also need to be replaced with the Enhanced Front End Controller

(EFEC) board included in this kit. To allow the necessary adjustments the EFEC requires, a license

for Option CR3, 2nd IF Output is also included.

Software and test equipment is required for making adjustments and for performance verification

testing. Information on how to obtain this software can be found at:

Initial Instrument Functionality Check

Power on the instrument and allow the instrument to boot up. Run an alignment and display the

measurement screen. (The instrument will probably display a spectrum analyzer screen and you will

see the instrument sweeping.)

There should be no alignment failures. If there are failures, investigate and fix the problem before

continuing.

Before you disassemble the instrument, turn the power switch to Standby. After the instrument

has completely shut down, unplug the instrument. Failure to unplug the instrument can result in

personal injury.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All work on

electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation. Refer to the

documentation that pertains to your instrument for information about static-safe workstations

and ordering static-safe accessories.

Installation Procedure

Analyzer Information

1. Connect a power cord to the analyzer and turn on the analyzer.

2. After the analyzer has completed turning on, press System, Show, System. Make note of the

following information from the Show System screen:

Product Number: _____________

Serial Number: ______________

Instrument S/W Revision: ______________

3. Check for the presence of one of the following options listed below in the Show System. Put a

check mark or “X” after the option listed below that appears in the Show System menu.

N9020A-B40_____

N9020A-CR3_____

N9020A-CRP_____

N9020A-DP2_____

N9020A-MPB_____

N9020A-BBA_____

4. On the analyzer, press System, Show, Hardware. Note the Part #, Matl Rev, Rev, OF Rev, and

Hw Id of the Front End Controller and Front End in the table below.

5. Refer to the data in step 2 above. If the Product Number is not N9020A, do not proceed with

the installation of this kit. This kit is to be installed only on N9020A signal analyzers.

6. Refer to the data in step 2 above. If the Serial Number prefix (the first six characters of the

serial number) is earlier than MY5328, SG5328, or US5328, or is later than MY/SG/US5606 do

not proceed with the installation of this kit. This kit is to be installed only on N9020A signal

analyzers with serial prefixes from ≥MY/SG/US5328 to <MY/SG/US5606.

7. Refer to the data in step 3 above. If option N9020A-BBA is present, there will be additional

steps required to remove and replace the front panel assembly.

8. Refer to the data in step 3 above. If option N9020A-B40, N9020A-MPB and/or N9020A-DP2 is

already present, the EFEC is already installed and you do not need to perform the Replace

Front End Controller procedure.

9. Refer to the data in step 4 above. Verify that the Front End assembly has a HW ID of 70.

10.Refer to the data in step 3 and step 4 above. If the analyzer has N9020A-CR3 and/or

N9020A-CRP installed, verify that it also has a Front End Controller with Hw Id of 75. If the

Front End Controller has a Hw Id of 75, you do not need to perform the Replace Front End

Controller procedure.

Update Instrument Software

Updating the instrument software and installing the necessary licenses before installing the new

hardware will help ensure that the hardware installation was successful.

Go to the following website and determine whether or not the analyzer has the latest instrument

software already installed:

http://www.keysight.com/find/xseries_software

If the analyzer does not have the latest instrument software already installed, download and install

the latest version.

Licensing the New Options

1. Locate the Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate (5964-5178) from the kit.

2. Redeem the Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate by following the instructions on the

Certificate.

3. After redeeming your Option Upgrade Entitlement Certificate you will receive an email with an

attached License File.

4. Locate a USB storage device. Perform a virus scan on this device before use.

5. Save the License File to the root directory of the USB Storage Device.

6. Connect the USB Storage Device to one of the analyzer’s USB ports. Connect a mouse to

another USB port. Windows will detect the new hardware and may display the configuration

menu shown in Figure 1. This menu may be configured according to your preferences.

7. The signal analyzer will automatically consume the License File. (This may take a few minutes)

When the License File is consumed the Keysight License Manager will display a “Successful

License Installation” message as shown in Figure 2. Since the license file contains multiple

licenses, multiple “Successful License Installation” messages will appear. Wait until all

licenses have been consumed before removing the USB Storage Device.

Figure 2 Successful License Installation

Verify the License Installation

1. Before the licenses will be recognized, the XSA application must be restarted. Press File, Exit.

An Exit Analyzer dialog box will appear; press Enter to confirm the exit.

2. Double-click on the LaunchXSA icon on the Windows desktop. Wait for the XSA application to

finish starting (the analyzer should be sweeping).

3. Press System, Show, System on the analyzer to display a list of all displayed options. You

should see the following options listed:
